Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC)


The Energy Storage and Energy Harvesting Laboratory of IREC focuses on the development of chemical and electrochemical means for storing large amounts of energy, mainly by CO2 conversion and by solar fuels generation through electrolysis and photo(electro)catalysis. For that purpose, IREC researchers develop materials and reactors for artificial photosynthesis. In the last five years, the goup has taken part in more than 10 national, European and company-funded projects, and has published more than 100 articles.
